  • Competes with much more expensive combos
Great performer and doesn't have the issue of a faint pop when changing bit rates. Volume wheel is smooth, but uses the 1/4" RCA instead of XLR, and the same power on the 6.35mm and 4.4mm headphone jacks. On the Hifiman HE5xx I can only go to 75% volume in low gain mode before it's too loud. In high gain it can handle probably 90-95 percent of headphones on the market. If you equalize with a big preamp reduction to avoid distortion, you'll be glad high gain mode has got some power on it. It runs barely warm, and in DAC output mode it's not even warm since the amplifier part gets turned off. The sound is fantastic if you have clean and quiet USB ports, or run it on optical for a silent noise floor. The 3 prong power cord helps eliminate ground loop issues. 6 ft is the limit on USB cables, a long 10 foot one caused playback issues, but the Amazon Basics 6ft is flawless. This is worth keeping, since it's such a great DAC if you decide later to add an "Ampzilla" for more power later. Also a combo for a DAC is a great backup plan in case an amplifier fails. I have a DL200 also and the form factor on it is much better for fitting an amplifier on top of it, but it has a faint pop when changing bit rates. Audiosciencereview did full measurements on it, and it might not look as elegant as a Topping DX5, but it competes on price, especially if it's on sale. Filters 1 and 6 have the best performance (1 is default best for 44.1khz music). Gamers who run in 48khz mode will probably prefer filter 6. Also the USB mode is great, since mode 1 works with consoles and doesn't need drivers in Windows, just limited to 24 bit 9600khz rates. If you have a phone with LDAC the Bluetooth is really impressive. It's compact and runs cool, but if your plans are for a full sized amplifier later, the DL200 is much better for stacking on top of it. ... show more

  • Excellent Bang for your buck
Tl/DR my choice over the much loved DX3 pro plus bc of a more musical sound. 1) Can power most headphones including a pair of Dan Clark Aeon 2 closed and did well with Modhouse Argon Mk3. Also still sounds good with Truthear hexa so iems are OK here too. 2) Good connectivity, enough for most set ups with inputs and outputs. 3) Plug and play w/ visible playback rate. 4) Plug and play w/ my PS5 and Switch, just make sure to swap to UAC 1.1. 5) Nice clean slightly warm sound. 6) Small enough to pack in your backpack and travel with, which is my current use case. I have a geshelli stack as a main and this when traveling and it gets me most of the way to a Jnog 2s and Archel 3 pro. Still prefer my home stack but the current good condition deal is worth it! ... show more

  • Awesome DAC/Amp
Update July 9th, 2023: it developed cracks/pops only over usb and only for my MacBook. Otherwise it still worked excellent over optical and coaxial. From what I have read it’s an issue with the xmos chip in these dacs and smsl’s implementation. There are some on forums that mention updating firmware, using windows drivers (not available for mac), or switching to usb 1.0 audio. I could not get the popping/cracking to stop, so I sent in for repair and got refunded when the item was determined unrepairable. Instead of getting another Dac I ended up just buying a high quality headphone amp, and I’ll wait to get one of the dacs with the 3rd gen xmos chips when one that suits my needs is affordable. Aside from the cracking and popping sound was excellent. So I still think with all the features and the ability to use over optical and coaxial it’s a 4 start product. Just beware of potential issues before you buy. Original review: This was my first desktop Dac/amp (I have a fiio btr5). I don’t have any difficult to drive headphones (hd 560s, dt 700 pro X, vmoda Crossfade 2 wireless, and numerous IEMs). I bought this to be able to use cross platform (Mac, windows, console) and for that it works very well. Switching inputs is easy, as is switching between the headphone out and line out. Sound quality is solid. Go check out the review on audiosciencereview.com if you care about the technical performance (it was measured as near zero audible distortion). For me everything sounds great and plenty of power to drive higher impedence headphones. No issues using Bluetooth either. This is often compared to the topping dx3 pro. I considered getting that as well, but opted for this because of the usb c input and the volume knob. It has a balanced headphone out, but it doesn’t offer any more power than the SE port. Otherwise technically it performs near identical to the topping according to audiosciencereviews.com. The one downside is that it doesn’t seem to be shielded very well. I noticed I get a lot of distortion when my phone is near. But as long as I keep my phone away, I have not had any issues. Very happy with the purchase. ... show more

  • Great all in one desktop PC solution
I upgraded from a SMSL SD793-II , about a decade of use (previously used a Fiio e10). Can say its a substantial upgrade. Sound is full bodied, clean, punchy low end, with very detailed highs. Runs my HD6xx headphones and PreSonus Eris 3.5s powered speakers wonderfully. Best part is I can switch outputs with the press of a botton. Great for listening to music while working from home then switching to headphones for a call where previously I needed a separate pre-amp. The C200 is a wonderful, compact, additional to my desk for the price! ... show more
